A message from Zayed higher Organization for People of Determination

We are delighted and honoured that the Zayed Higher Organization for People of Determination, responsible for providing care and rehabilitation for people of determination across the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, is the main sponsor of this award.

This sponsorship supports all the efforts made by state institutions to empower people of determination, stemming from the organization’s commitment to fulfilling its social responsibility. The award underscores the vital and active role played by the private sector and non-profit organizations in achieving sustainable development and social welfare for all.

As we celebrate today the significant efforts and pioneering achievements of practitioners in the field of education who support children with determination, we reaffirm the importance of concerted efforts and unified endeavours across various sectors of society to support and advocate for the rights of these groups. Our goal is to empower them to be active and essential participants in building and developing our nation.

All thanks and appreciation go to Incluzun, which works with people of determination across the state. We commend their assistance to children from these groups to successfully complete their education and obtain meaningful employment.

Additionally, they support schools on their journey towards inclusion by developing planning and working with over 250 schools in the UAE to provide learning assistants for students with determination, focusing on improving outcomes for these students. These efforts align with the vision of Zayed Higher Organization for People of Determination, which aims for equal rights that deepen happiness and social empowerment for people of determination. The organization’s mission is to provide advanced services for individuals from these groups, invest resources and energies in a positive environment to empower them educationally, professionally, culturally, and socially, in accordance with their capabilities and aspirations, contributing to the activation of societal roles and achieving social development.
